Nick Moskowitz, an astronomer at Lowell Observatory, dives into the intriguing world of quasi-satellites and near-Earth objects. He explores PN7, a quasi-satellite that blurs the line between mini-moons and asteroids. Nick discusses its potential origins, including lunar ejecta and space debris, and highlights how these celestial bodies serve as time capsules for solar system history. He also touches on recent successful sample-return missions that enrich our knowledge and explains the exciting scientific opportunities that these nearby objects may present.
